The aim of this study is to identify variables for an experimental study on the differences in cognitive skills between paper books and digital books in sports textbooks, focusing on multicultural students. To achieve this, a committee of 12 advisory members was formed and a total of four Delphi surveys were conducted. The main conclusions are as follows. Firstly, as a precedent variable, the age, gender, and language ability of the multicultural students participating in the experiment should be considered, along with the technical accessibility and proficiency level of technology acceptance. Secondly, the independent variables imply factors that can influence cognitive skills. Independent variables include various screen designs and content presentation methods, display, readability, interactivity, multimedia, and a multimodal interface of devices composed of digital book media. Also, experimental materials with an appropriate level of difficulty considering the characteristics of multicultural students were derived as independent variables. Thirdly, dependent variables include biometric signals, questionnaires, interviews, and other cognitive measurement tools that can measure cognitive skills. The variables presented through the main results of this study have high utility not only as variables for experimental research on differences in cognitive skills between paper book and digital book media in sports textbooks for multicultural students, but also as a reference for digital book development.
